Horrific display of maorification again. When will someone say stop people go to watch sport not this utter bs. Seeya nz cricket you've put me off cricket now
Woke ideology is creeping into nearly every corner of society. I had hoped that with the current government, at least half of that woke nonsense would have been halted - but maybe they’re still following the Labour blueprint.
I hadn't seen it. For quite some time now I haven't seen any Maori haka, or Sky commentators Maori welcome, any Australian smoke dirge or any other "cultural cringe"
I either quite deliberately tune in late, always it to another channel or at the least mute it. I noticed Canterbury Rugby did the same sort of shit a few weeks ago, cringeworthy.
Hey Hooker Phil, welcome! You must have tuned in late, because it’s worse than ever now. New Zealand is practically trying to outdo Australia with its own version of the welcome to country.
At least when Aboriginal musicians play the didgeridoo, it actually sounds good.
My brother in Australia reckons this is wonderful "Caring for Country and People". Of course it's absolute patronising bullshit though I did love the words uttered by War Journalist John Sweeney from Ukraine over the weekend....."There's an awful lot of people out there who cannot weigh evidence."
Fatigue is really setting in across Australia and New Zealand. While some people appreciate it, many do not. Here’s a video of an Aboriginal woman speaking up: https://x.com/KatyKray73/status/1972907504645570863
The Maori content in any sport is unnecessary. The rugby haka has gone from the laying down of a sillver fern to now cutting throats and a weapon carried by the haka chief tongue poker. As for the cricket don't go there......I cannot see the MCC accepting that stone age behaviour. As for the anti Colonial hangup Maoris have, they seem to love Colonial sports. The country is just a laughing stock.
Sounding like strangled cats, it was anything but welcoming to anywhere. This reinvent ion of Maori culture is making it comedic at best, cringe worthy is more appropriate. Cricket doesn't need this, it is not who they are.
One thing they got right culturally was running out through the KFC columns, nice touch to go with the performance. 😂
Haha, you're not the first to notice that!

About as bad as it gets, if I’d been watching I’d have switched it off. Maybe the folks that attended should have walked away?
The sound was horrible.
At least the KFC advertising was truly a cultural representation...
You're not wrong.
